Dig for treasure #2 – 1989: In the series of Dig for Treasure we will be paying attention to the forgotten pearls in a specific year of the history of pop. In this second episode, we will pay attention to the year of 1989.
This is the year of pop hits Like a Prayer (Madonna), Eternal Flame (The Bangles) and Another Day in Paradise (Phil Collins), but also the year of the debut records of Nirvana and The Stone Roses, by which the foundation was laid for the nineties. However, in this programme you will hear mostly tracks of artists who (almost) everyone has forgotten, or got the attention they deserved many years later, with a preference for unique singles, b-sides, bonus-tracks and archive recordings.
